At sixteen years old, Alex Hallowell has never been interested in any of the boys at her high school. She has never had a boyfriend and has never felt the pangs of love. That is, until she meets freshman beauty, Shayla Carrington, who her best friend, Kevin, has just begun dating. Shayla is everything Alex is not: beautiful, outgoing, and carefree. At first, she tries to ignore these feelings, to shove them aside, even to replace them. But, as Alex finds out, she has little control over matters of the heart. As if being in love with Shayla isn't hard enough, Alex's father is working hundreds of miles away in Alaska and her mother hasn't mentioned his name in months. Snooping, she finds an email from her father, which mentions a possible divorce and the name of an uncle Alex has never heard of. With the help of a new friend, Duncan, Alex uncovers the story of her uncle that only adds to the secrets that she is keeping from the people she loves. At its core, The Secrets that Separate Us is a story that we all can relate to: a story of a first love, an unrequited love, a forbidden love. Even after its last page, you will recall with sentiment the first time you laid eyes on the person that first made your palms sweat, your stomach flip, your heart flutter. You will remember the hope you once felt, even against the odds that you faced. Alex's story is your story.
